Chapter 5 Family Reunions Are Torture

Deuce POV

I felt the sunbathing against my skin as I flew on the back of a pure white pegasus, his wings flapped furiously against the wind whipping it up around me. While my father flew next to me, he didn't need a pegasus. I didn't even know that he could fly till this exact moment. I'm sure that there are a lot of things that I don't know about him.

I mean the reason that I don't fly is that of good old uncle Zeus. If I took to the air without his permission he would strike me down. I sighed heavily as he looked at uncle didn't care for me and I know that. I am the son of Medusa and they are all gods, not matter if my father was Position.

When I looked up from the sea below me I sigh the lights coming from Olympus. It was breathtaking even in the morning but at night it was even better. I had to admit that it was nicer to stay on Olympus for spring break even if my dad was a pain in the ass.

"Have you been practicing." I looked up from my thoughts to see that my father was staring intently. What the hell is that supposed to mean, when I look back down at the water I watched as a monster followed me. My brain instantly kicked in, my god given gifts of control of the seas and all of its creatures. Yeah, I totally had time to practice in the suburbs.

"Oh well I don't use my powers at school but yeah I still keep up with my training. I just do more of it when I am in Greece that is all." I watched my father's eyes lit up at the prospect of me not totally ignoring him and everything about him.

I sighed maybe my mom was right, with being angry I had my right but at time it was too exhausting to be pissted at him. I looked up to the approaching city we would be there in a few minutes. There was something was bugging me."Dad what aren't we staying in your underwater palace instead." I looked at in his green eyes filled with joy and concern. "Yeah about that..."

Before he could even say a word, we landed on the city there were people sitting there, I knew one of them was aunt Hera, her chocolate brown hair and deep golden eyes were glaring at me as we started to descend. "Dad you didn't answer the question."

I looked at him and he sighed heavily before turning to look at aunt Hera like there was something that was eating at him. "You remember Amphitrite right," I growled under my breath it was one of the many reasons that I don't talk to my father. His wife Amphitrite the goddess of the sea hated my very existence.

I don't know why my dad and my mom were together before he even thought about marrying that bitch. "Yeah, my wicked stepmother what about her." He sighed heavily and glared at me.

"Well, we are kind of getting divorced and she doesn't want to have to see you at all. But I wasn't going to miss out on my chance to see my son for his birthday. So, I decided that I would let that women stop me." I smiled to myself as I heard the pride and joy in his voice.

I never thought that he would choose me over his bitch wife. So the thought only put a smile on my face but the fact that he followed through with it made my heart burst from joy. It gave me hope that he wasn't a total douche.

I nodded my head and heard the cry of the Pegasus in my head telling me that we were here. I sighed and jumped off of his back stretching out my back before grabbing my bags from my father and looking at Hera. I smile politely at her as love shine in her eyes. She had to be the only person here that wanted me here.

"Hey, aunt Hera. How have you been?" She smiled sweetly at me and laughed before walking over to me and pulling me into a hug. She was one of the few that didn't hate me, I was glad about that. "There is my favorite nephew, what do I have to do to get you to come first me more."

I smile wide at her and watched as the concert of her mouth twisted into a wide smile before she petted each one of my snakes. "You got so big to come on, I will show you to your room." I looked at her for a moment before turning to look back at my father who has this small smile on his face.

But my aunt she was glowing with motherly pride as she looked down at me with nothing but love and acceptance in her eyes. It is one of the many reasons why I loved her, she is one of the few family members on this floating rock that didn't care I had snake coming out of my head.

"Hera I was thinking that I could take my son to his room." I hear her laugh and frown at the same time and nodded her head. "I will see you lasted later tonight at the party dear."

Before I could say thing, she dispersed in a flash of bright blinding light, I sighed and started to walk against the grassy field making my way in the city. With my father at my side, I could hear him humming to himself as he looked intently at me. It almost made me laugh but at any moment he would become a douchebag and ruined it.

I felt my feet hit the cold cobblestone as we made it towards city. There were nymphs playing the harp in one of the balconies. I could hear them whispering behind my back and looking at me and then my father.

I could hear them mumbling about how they had never seen a monster allowed on Olympus before. I tried to ignore them the but it was hard to do. I felt my father wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close. "Hey kid, I was thinking that we could head into town later after you unpack and talk to your uncle."

I let out this low groan as we came in closer to the palace, I hated the idea of having to speak to my uncle he hated me more than anyone else. But he had a good way of hiding it so that dad would never know.

I tried to tell him once and let me tell you, it didn't end well for me. I snarled wild. I felt a weight come off my shoulders as my father pulled his arms back and I felt bad as I looked at the hurt expression on his face.

I leaned in closer to his touche and he smiled and wrapped his arms back around me. "Sorry about that, I was thinking about uncle Zeus. Dad why the hell do I have to talk to him, he hates me and I'd rather not have him making fun of me." I looked at him and his green eyes divisive and frown lines forming in his forehead and crinkles form in the corner of his eyes.

When we had finally made it to the palace we walked passed the throne room and into my room, I smile as I walked in the room with a large floating flat screen tv against the wall and a large queens size bed in the middle of the room.

To the left was a navy-blue closet and there were blue waves decorating the walls. I laid my bag and my bookbag on the bed before turning to look at my father. There was a figure standing behind him.

His golden blond hair and bright blue eyes which seemed to be electric were staring daggers at me. I could see how much he hated me, his bright blue eyes sparkled as he moved slowly. A cunning and sly smirk formed on his face like there was an electricity running through them.

I sighed as he has this sly smirk on his face. My father, on the other hand, is leaning firmly against the while oblivious to his psycho little brother behind him. That was till he noticed my change in posture and began to frown.

"Hey, uncle Zeus it's nice to see you again." I looked at it and he had this dusted for on his face before he was replaced with a fake smile. "So good to see you again Deuce but it seems we are a season early. Anyway, Poseidon I need to talk to you." I watched my father nod his head before walking out of the room.

I watched him them walked out before collapsing on the bed and stared at the walls for being out before getting up and unpacking my bags. My laptop was sitting on the bed as I pulled out my phone and looked at the messages. Now it said that I had 60 messages that I missed from Cleo. I was about to call her when I heard a knock at my door. When I look up to see that my uncle was there this aggrieved look on his faces he closes the door behind him and snarled.

"What the hell do you think that you are doing here you disgusting beast." I had to resist a snarl that started to build in my throat. Who was he to tell me that I wasn't welcome it's not my fault that my father chose to sleep with my mother in my cousin's temple.

When she flipped and had her cursed that also wasn't my choice, even after she had my siblings I'm sure he still blamed me and they were born before me. But there no point in telling him any of that. He is manic every time he sees me logic it just stops existing for him.

So it doesn't really surprise me that he used me roughly against the wall as his callous hand started to wrap around my neck. Cutting off oy oxygen flow before letting up and doing it all over again.

I felt his other rough hand grasping around my wrist as he pinned me, his hot rancid breath hitting my skin causing my skin to warm up while at the same time forcing goosebumps to form on my face. I was trying to hold my anger back it was shit like this, that I hated most about coming to Greece. But as his mouth inched close to me, anger burned in my veins.

"Shut up and get off of me if you have a problem with me being here, then talk to my father if not piss off." I looked intently at him and I don't think that I had seen ever seen a man that angry. But he was beyond passed, then there was this clicking sound, then this smell of ozone filled my nose.

I could see a bolt of crackling electric blue bolt formed in his grasp. His pale skin hand inching forward as the lightning crackled angst my skin causing a burn to start to form on my neck. My snakes hissed and I look angry at him he had some nerve, there was no reason to act this way.

"Watch yourself you dirty abomination, you might be a half-blood but you are still a monster and your no nephew of mine." I watch his hand started to press deeply into my skin as it sizzle and bubble that was going to leave a nock. I hear a knock on the door.

I let out this sigh of relief as my uncle or so-called uncle walked away from me making sure that I knew he would kill he opened the door and my father's bright green eyes seem to be darkened as I looked at him. I knew he was looking at each detail of my face searching to make sure that I was okay before speaking.

"Everything alright here." I watched my uncle laughs as this bright cheery smile formed on his face. "We were just having a heart to heart see you later kid." I watched him disappear but as I turned to my father I was folded with a sense of relief. I mean the last time that I was this close to being killed was when I was 6, that was the whole reason me and my father relationship fell apart.

I watched him walk over to me and hugged me and I don't know why but it really did make me feel better. I could hear him murmming when I hugged him back. "You still want to head into town back down on earth or stay in the heaves." I knew that had to be a rhetorical question I don't want to be here any longer now that Zeus ruined it. "Nah I still want to go out."

We were walking the city when I felt this buzzing in my pocket and Cleo's face was appearing on my screen. I let out this sigh if I didn't answer on the first ring, then she would just be keeping calling me.

I was told by my mother that I wasn't talking to her on vacation with my dad. I hit the ignore button and I could have sworn that I hear screaming. "Everything okay." I look over to see that my father was looking at me with concern in his eyes. "Yeah, dad fine just girl drama that's all."

I look intently at him for a moment before looking up to see an approaching crowd of monsters. "Speaking of ghouls, I told your mother that you could bring Cleo but she said no." I didn't even know what to say. My mother told me that he didn't want her there and as such, I had to blow her off for the next two weeks which would get me in trouble with Cleo.

Before I could even say a word, I looked up to see that Cleo was looking angrily at me, I must have been seeing things because I didn't tell her that she could be here. When I look passed her Claud along with Clawdeen, Frankie, and Draculaura, were with her.

I didn't even know what to say but my face seemed rather amazed. "Cleo what the hell are you doing here." She looks at me confused as she scrunched her eyebrows up and her light blue eyes began to darken.

"What the hell do you mean, what am I doing here? I asked you the other night if you mind if we tagged along and you said whatever you want babe. Oh my Ra, are you telling me that you weren't listening to me the whole time." I rubbed the back of my head and laughed harshly before looking down at my feet.

"I had a lot on my plate my bad." She growled out of frustration as she glared down at me. I could see the look of fury in her eye. "You…you…" She growls loudly and everyone on the streets stopped to watch us. My father was laughing his ass off when he looked at the girl. "Are you going to introduce me."

I could see all the questioning looks on their faces an I turned to look at my father then my friends. Cleo was still angry and I could tell by the look that they wanted to know who he was. I sighed and look at them

"Cleo, Clawd, Clawdeen, Draculaura, Frankie meet my dad, Poseidon god of the seas. Dad these are my friend from monster high." I watched each of them gasp as my father waved past to them. "It's nice to meet all of you.
